Measurement of Advective Flux

The hydraulic conductivity K) is influenced by permeability, viscosity of fluid, gravitational force, and density of the medium. 

The values of k are determined experimentally and vary with soil type. The values of k for sandy sediments are typically higher than 10 cm. The values of K are in the range of 1 cm s for 

Advective fluxes can be measured using indirect and direct methods
